about this book: Reflections - Dissonance poetry

Living is reaching deeply inside. Taking hold and riding the torrent to its extraordinary end. Life is seldom unsoiled. Beneath its smooth coating lies what we all possess. Poetry is often very primal - capturing a moment of released emotion. Words can have power - even if they are not understood. Reflections display a power within verse that often cannot be explained.

This is what life is about, feeling and understanding the power without rhyme or reason. It is not required to understand to understand. Some things in life can only be felt. This is living, to feel life and its many mysteries and know without understanding.

Let us capture what is inside, let us project it upon our world. Humanity often runs contrary to nature. This I believe is a major reason that there is such frustration in our society. Many ask how can that be, who could do that, without understanding that they themselves are captured by this man-made reality. Look inside and witness how our basic needs can be repressed by the social norm and expected behavior. This can often remove any doubt as to much of the "Radical Behavior" that is seen. Radical behavior is considered that by created moral standards. One must find a way to exist within our social system and yet retain that which they are. This is a great challenge and the path to awareness.
